Trump’s Adviser Navarro Slams India for Buying Russian Oil

In an opinion piece published in the Financial Times, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro criticized India for its increased purchases of Russian oil since the invasion of Ukraine. Navarro described India's actions as "opportunistic and deeply corrosive" to the global effort to isolate Russia and curb Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine. The article highlights the tension between the United States and India, two strategic allies, over India's continued engagement with Russia despite the international sanctions. Navarro argued that India's actions undermine the effectiveness of the sanctions and embolden Putin's regime. The article suggests that the Biden administration is pressuring India to reduce its reliance on Russian energy, which has become a point of contention in the bilateral relationship.
